A public lecture by world-renowned Indian environmental leader, eco-feminist and driving force behind the international 'seed freedom' movement, Dr Vandana Shiva. Dr Shiva is the recipient of many awards including the 2010 Sydney Peace Prize, the Right Livelihood Award ( also known as the alternative Nobel Prize) and many others. Forbes magazine has named Dr Shiva as being among the top 5 most influential feminists in the world today.

Seed is the first link in the global food chain, as well as the origin of life. Dr Shiva is a leading voice in the struggle for control of the seed and against corporate monopolies over seed, one of the most crucial struggles of our contemporary world. The rare lecture appearance in Jakarta, Indonesia's capital, by Dr Vandana Shiva, one of the most celebrated environmental voices of our time, will also feature an exhibition of food sovereignty. Dr Shiva's critically acclaimed books will be available for sale at the event. There will be a book signing opportunity with Dr Shiva afterwards.
